Cmaj7Whenever I explore the Gm7land of Yin,
I Fmaj7always take one Fm7on the chiBb9n.
And Cmaj7now this lioness has Gm7almost made me Am7tame.
I Fmaj7can?t pronounce her name but Fm7eggplant Gis her game.
Cmaj9    Gm7      Cmaj9   Gm7
Cmaj7The lady sticks to me like Gm7white on rice.
She Fmaj7never cooks the Fm7same thing twiBb9ce.
Cmaj7Maybe it?s the mushrooms, Gm7maybe the toAm7matoes.
I Fmaj7can?t reveal her name but Fm7eggplant Gis her game.

When my baby cooks her eggplant, she don?t read no book.
         Cmaj7Gm11           Am7  
She?s got a Gioconda kind of dirty look.
                    Cmaj7Gm11
And my baby cooks her eggplant
                    Cmaj7Gm11
?bout nineteen different ways,
                Cmaj7Gm11                Am7  
But sometimes I just have it raw with mayonnaise.
Cmaj7Maybe it?s the way she Gm7grates her cheese,
Or Fmaj7just the freckles Fm7on her knBb9ees.
Cmaj7Maybe it?s the scallions, Gm7maybe she?s IAm7talian.
I Fmaj7can?t reveal her name but Fm7eggplant Gis her game.
